Essentially a plain old manual as far as the transmission itself goes. Except, there is a hydraulic actuator that pushes the clutch, and another that moves the gear shifter. You upshift with the paddles (or lever) and the computer sorts out when to (how to): lift the throttle, push in the clutch, upshift, release the clutch and reapply power.
